Detailed Information
Physical Description
This applied to when she was mortal: Ruth is possibly the shortest member of the Fitzwilliam family over the age of twenty one. She is a petite 5'4", once had very dark brown hair, now dyes it to keep her white hair disguised (this lessens the appearance difference between her and her angelic husband). If there was one word to describe Ruth, it would be bustling. She is a very active woman, cooking, cleaning and bickering with the love of her life, Charles Fitzwilliam.
But now, you see, she is not mortal. Though she's still 5'4", she now has her wavy brunette hair, her big brown eyes, her figure, and her health back. She'll look to be in her early twenties for the rest of her life, and she's happy with that. Charlie needs her and she needs him.
Personal Information
Raised by a mother who lived in Russia and France and a father who was half-French, Ruth speaks both fluent French and Russian but didn't instruct her children much in either. She also knows a lot of Afrikaans.
Ruth's hobby is baking. She bakes for a majority of each day, developing her recipes and setting them on Charlie when he gets home from work. She's a relatively skilled cook, as well, having been schooled quite efficiently by the cooks who really don't have to work as much as they probably ought to.
As she cannot drive, she has had a chauffeur since moving to London in 1980, and his name is Albert.
She's also been on Charlie to quit smoking since 1967.
Backstory
Ruth, along with her older sister, started dancing at the age of three. Her mother was a dancer, as well, and wanted her children to share in the joy. Ruth loved dancing and her sister was a very helpful tutor, helping to advance Ruth just as skillfully as the girl advanced on her own.
They had a very happy childhood with parents who doted lovingly on them. Her father was a banker and while they were high on the financial scale, they were hardly the most upper class family in England, and, in fact, did not really come close. They spent their holidays in Kent and the Isle of Wight.
As Ruth's sister turned eleven, she won a spot in the Royal Ballet School (then Sadler's Wells Ballet School). Her parents received a scholarship to allow her to attend, and told Ruth that if she could do the same, she could also go there. Ruth did. But where Ruth's sister moved on to join the Royal Ballet, then the Kirov (now Mariinsky) Ballet, Ruth simply left school and declined all job offers.
While boarding at White Lodge with her sister, Ruth met a young Charlie Fitzwilliam, who had left Eton with a few of his friends for an afternoon of mischief. Charlie, who had started smoking a pipe at twelve, was not only the product of a vastly different upbringing, but more outgoing and far taller than Ruth, too. She was secretly intimidated by him but visibly indifferent. She rejected his advances time and time again until they settled on a friendship and eventually she took a shine to him. They courted for four years, then married in Cape Town, and Ruth settled in to be the wife of a man destined for a hell of a lot of greatness.
